It's always "says without evidence". They clearly feel it is too irresponsible or dangerous to say he is lying unless they have absolute conrete level proof it is a lie to the level of "it has been proven in a court of law". Or maybe not becuase they still will not call him a rapist despite what the courts said he did to E. Jean Carrol....
BUT...............
There's no problem at all using that word on Democrats.
Two parties. Two sets of rules. One worthless media.

Nexstar Media is the company that (allegedly) suspended broadcasts of Jimmy Kimmel Live! to get Trump's approval for its $6.2 billion deal to buy Tegna.
That's why they don't call Republicans liars.
